There is no way you live 2 years without lightbulbs
Domestic lightbulbs donāt draw much power, even less if theyāre the energy saver type, the whole not having them thing is utterly ridiculous.

It just sounds dramatic. And she's never explained how they got about in winter when it's barely light, or with a toddler who might be scared of the dark. You can't tell me they sat in the total darkness from about 4.30pm, you just can't.
Also the housemates must have been very annoyed not to have a fridge or light bulbs.
Two years is a long time to keep that hidden from a family you're supposedly close to. Are we to believe that she lived so nearby to her mum and dad, with her toddler son, and in two years neither mum or dad popped round? She was a single, first time mother, with shaky mental health, and they never popped round and saw how she was living, in TWO years? Knowing also, that she was unemployed, and times might be a bit hard? It's bullshit.
During your time here you will laugh, a lot, so advice is donāt consume liquid whilst tattling
Cos they are sycophantic muppets

Thank you. I wondered about adding but didn't want to tread on anyone's toes.
Welcome, @Bombastic - we are all very friendly here!
Previous claim of being a SW was whilst pregnant. There was an anonymous article and 'Sam' later confirmed to be Jack and implied SB's father was a client.
She froze the leftovers, so freezer but no fridge. Unless her flat really was that cold.Guardian article July 2013

How blogging about my Ā£10 a week food shop helped me cope with life
When Jack Monroe lost her job she learnt how poverty isn't just having no heating, fridge or lighting, it's feeding your son one Weetabix with water. Then she started writing about it
She's been exaggerating since the start.
Please tread on toes. It's a full time job trying to get all those links in.
The pics & video here were taken in her flat - quoting Potatoes, The mirrored tiles were my landlords decision, not mine, but I did like them. Shame the rest of the flat was a cold damp sh*thole, but the very tiny kitchen was alright.@colouredlines Is it worth adding this to the timeline, the first article in the Guardian I can find?

Were the film crew confused by the lack of lightbulbs, I wonder?
notJack really really loves coriander.

I might add some to it at some point, be good to get some of the recent FSM stuff in there and how she tried to insert herself in it all. Debunk some of the "Jack lead the campaign" crap that gets put out there
.
My vote for the new thread title!Apple batter jeans, Coop with the fur, everybody on the train was lookin at huuuur! Sorry
NotJack promised churros at the weekend a few days ago. If she follows through we will know she is NOT Jack.notJack really really loves coriander.
